Abstrakt: The article focuses on the increase in participation in the craft movement in the U.S. The most recent Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) study found that 57 percent of U.S. households participated in crafts and craft activities in 2006. The same study reported that 4 million new people come to the crafting craze each year and that the crafting industry has experienced a 43 percent growth during the last 3 years. The craft and hobby industry is estimated to be worth $29.5 billion. The most popular reason that people craft is the desire to learn new things and express creativity. Craft activities include scrapbooking, jewelry-making, ceramic pottery, knitting, sewing, quilting, woodworking, and painting.
